Product Description
The Simpson Deck-Drive DCU Composite Screw, #10 x 2-3/4 in., Collated, Quik Guard Gray 04 is engineered by Simpson specifically for composite and PVC decking installations, delivering consistently clean, professional fastening results without the need to mix and match screws across different composite products. The curved-collated format pairs with the Simpson Strong-Tie Quik Drive PRO300SG2 auto-feed screw driving system for high-efficiency installation, while the Gray 04 color-matched cap head blends discreetly with popular composite decking surfaces for a more concealed, polished finish.
Key Features
- Tri-lobe thread design - reduces damage to the composite board during driving, protecting the deck surface and preserving the board's structural integrity
- Inverted upper threads - clear excess material as the screw seats, ensuring consistent, flush installation every time without manual cleanup
- Type-17 point - penetrates composite decking with ease for faster starts, reducing installation time and driver bit wear
- Cap head design - prevents mushrooming and material from rising above the deck surface, leaving a smooth, clean-looking finish that does not require additional touch-up
- Gray 04 color-matched painted head - blends with popular composite decking products for a more concealed fastener appearance and a refined, finished look
- Quik Guard coating - suitable for use in pressure-treated lumber and provides corrosion resistance equivalent to hot-dip galvanization (ASTM A153, Class D) in some exposures, supporting long-term durability in outdoor environments
- Trex-approved fastener - meets Trex's fastener approval requirements, giving installers and homeowners confidence when working with Trex composite decking
- T20 6-lobe drive with included driver bit - delivers positive bit engagement to reduce cam-out and improve drive control, with a T20 6-lobe driver bit included so installation can begin immediately
- Curved collation format - compatible with the Simpson Strong-Tie Quik Drive PRO300SG2 auto-feed driving system, enabling faster, continuous screw placement across large deck surfaces
Why This Product
- One screw for all composite decking types - the Deck-Drive DCU is designed to work across composite and PVC decking applications, eliminating the frustration of sourcing separate fasteners for different decking products and simplifying job-site inventory
- Built-in surface protection - the combination of the tri-lobe thread design and cap head geometry actively prevents board damage and surface mushrooming during installation, reducing callbacks and rework on finished decks
- Corrosion resistance rated for demanding outdoor conditions - the Quik Guard coating meets a corrosion resistance standard equivalent to hot-dip galvanization (ASTM A153, Class D) in some exposures, making these screws a reliable choice for exterior deck construction exposed to the elements
- System-ready for high-productivity installation - the curved-collated format and included T20 6-lobe driver bit are matched to work with the Simpson Strong-Tie Quik Drive PRO300SG2 auto-feed system, allowing crews to drive screws faster and more consistently across large decking projects
